Re: IESG Considering a Revision to NOTE WELL

It is not so simple.   BTW, this is not legal opinion,  rather experience

The phrase "reasonable expectation" is fraught with difficulty both about whether a contribute knew about IP or did not know or should reasonably have known and whether he/she believed any such IP would be "reasonably expected" to be essential

But my objective in the question what might be "late" was whether IETF may have defined "late" somewhere and the rationale for a new "note well" statement that it was because of recent "late disclosures"

I caution against discouraging disclosures even it they are  "late"

let's be simple here.  'late' would seem to be any time after there was
a reasonable expectation that you knew there was a document on which
there was ipr.
